I think it would be difficult to perform a hijacking while naked. For starters, you can't conceal weapons. In addition, well... you're naked. Not very imposing, and everyone knows where to aim to kick you

This is really a packing issue. Sardines don't need leg room. Why should people? The more the leg room the more massive the airframe, the greater the ecological impact.

People are about 2 to 3 cubic feet in volume. Call it 2.75 after considering the fast-food-effect. With an equal amount of luggage, 1000 passangers and their trappings can be transported from point A to point B in a jet propelled canister 50 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. Airbus is working on it.

All Nippon Airways is asking its passengers to use the restrooms before boarding to save the environment.

How dumb/gullible dose this airline think people are? 240 to 340 pounds of less waste on a 767 is nothing for the planes fuel efficiency.

What is next nude flights because of all that heavy clothing, then we can get rid of everything on the inside of the plane because that is all extra weight.

I have NO idea what your beef is about. 300 pounds of excess anything requires more fuel to accelerate and keep in the air. It is a very small percentage of the total fuel, but it is one of those amounts that gets multiplied a thousand-fold over a month.

It's not a requirement, it's not even a "plea," it's a request and it's an experiment that will last a month.

So your problem is, what....?

"These environmentalist whackos are at it again! What's next? Will we have to leave our blood behind? What's next? Will we be allowed to bring our clothes? What's next? Will we be forces to shave our heads? What's next? Are they going to ask us to give up our freedom? What's next? blah blah blah..."

Yeah, I think that if it pays off everyone will be looking at it in a different light. They are doing this to reduce their annual emissions right? How many flights are there daily even hourly?

It's like those tricky math questions teachers love to give. 'would you rather get a penny a day under this interest for 3 years or me give you 1 million dollars'. Most students laugh at the idea of getting 1 penny a day but rest assured, it always equals to be more than the lump sum amount. (just pointing out that a little bit every hour every day does make a difference).
As for the clothing part... really?

I find it hard to believe people complaining when we already do this before long drives.

"Little Johnny, we are NOT leaving until you pee before we start driving."

I reason that any ideas I had if written down would be published. It is only right then that when I make a statement that I should be able to put myself as my own references
: )

Also he is referring to a post made by Chi Meson earlier in the thread :tongue2:

LOL upon further reading I amend my previous statement as upon further backtracking I found out what you were referring to; therefore disregard what I just said even though I am capable of simply editing it out I think it remains within the spirit of this thread to leave it in.
